What We Shared in the Feature

In our article, Empowering FPOs: The Potential of an Integrated Drone Data Call Center Solution, we explored how linking drone intelligence with AgriStack and DIGIPIN can transform how FPOs operate:

  • Hyperlocal Crop Intelligence – High-resolution drone imagery integrated with AgriStack’s Crop Sown Registry to detect nutrient deficiencies, pests, and water stress early—before they impact yield.

  • DIGIPIN-Enabled Logistics – Ultra-precise geocoding to optimize harvest routes, geotag warehouses, and certify produce origin for transparent market access.

  • Financial Inclusion – Drone-verified crop health data enabling collateral-free loans and rapid, AI-powered insurance claims.

  • Climate Resilience – Real-time flood and drought mapping to guide proactive irrigation, harvest, or relief measures.

While we have not yet executed an FPO-focused project of this kind, we are deeply interested in collaborating with Farmer Producer Organizations, government agencies, and agri-tech innovators to bring this vision to life. Our confidence in delivering such a solution comes from our successful implementation of a Drone Data Call Center for NKDA (New Town Kolkata Development Authority)—a project that demonstrated how centralized drone data management can drive better decision-making and operational efficiency.

We also highlighted real-world GIS success stories from across India—like Tamil Nadu’s soil health mapping and Maharashtra’s crop monitoring projects—that show how data-driven farming isn’t a far-off dream, it’s here now.

We’re excited to share that Kesowa has been featured in the July 2025 edition of the Association of Geospatial Industries (AGI) Newsletter—our third appearance this year! This time, the spotlight is on our vision for empowering Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) with an Integrated Drone Data Call Center Solution.

The July edition’s theme, Connected Farming Using Geospatial, couldn’t have been a better fit for our mission to blend GIS, drones, and India’s emerging digital infrastructure into farmer-first innovation.

Why It Matters

FPOs are the backbone of smallholder farming in India. By combining geospatial intelligence with digital public infrastructure, they can:

  • Reduce input costs and improve yields

  • Build trust with buyers through certified, traceable produce

  • Respond faster to weather and climate risks

  • Give farmers direct access to credit and insurance

At Kesowa, we believe that when technology meets the field, the result isn’t just better farming—it’s stronger rural economies and a more resilient food system.

Looking Ahead

We’re committed to piloting and refining this integrated approach with FPOs, government agencies, and agri-fintech partners, making sure it’s robust, scalable, and farmer-centric. If you’re an FPO or stakeholder interested in exploring this integration, we’d love to collaborate.

A big thank you to AGI for giving us this platform again, and to everyone in the geospatial and agri-tech community working to make India’s farming future smarter, more connected, and more inclusive.
